<p>Your post gave me a smile John. Thanks. </p>
<p>I've not noticed how my stores handle it, as I stay as far away from anything religious as I can. I guess I'm afraid of my body spontaneously combusting.</p>

<p>The local Books-A-Million has christian literature on a separate shelf from other religious literature thus avoiding any cross contamination or spontaneous combustion due to the proximity of the conflicting deities. </p>

<p>That is funny. I guess that is why they have their own section "Religion and Spirituality", so no one gets pissed for them being shelved in Fiction, or NonFiction. I am sure christians hate seeing them in the same section as books on hinduism, Buddhism, Islam, etc. You know, because NO ONE is right but them. I find that SO arrogant. That the christians think that the whole world is not as smart as they are..because their book says so..Well, guess what? The other book says the same…</p>

<p>The Library of Congress classification system, used for the call numbers on books at most college, university, and government libraries, uses "B" for philosophy, psychology, and religion.</p>
<p><strong>The Bible is under "BS"</strong>.</p>
